Great to hear the feedback on these from both of you. Curious if you guys also researched Bimmertech? If so what made you decide? Doing some research myself and it seems Pepsi vs Coke so not sure if one has advantage over another??

I did not research bimmertech. Usually over research but just trusted the feedback here on Bavsound. Did not disappoint…

Over-researcher here as well. Bimmertech does not offer a free trial period, and I had never heard them in person. Reviews exist, but I couldn't find enough about about the F90 platform specifically to convince me. For all I know, they could be better, but I didn't want to take the chance. BavSound offers a 100 day no questions asked return policy. As I mentioned, not only does BimmerTech does not offer a trial period, items are only returnable for 14 days only IF they have not been installed. Also, BavSound's warranty and customer service is top notch. See my first long post further back in this thread about the warranty replacements I was provided.

Immediate improvement after adjusting all the settings and equalizer to the recommended settings bavsound sent me - so much so I had a huge smile on my face on the first drive and this is before even the break in period so I'm sure they will sound better and better as time goes on. Anyone debating the upgrade who likes listening to music - DO IT! You won't be disappointed!!! Now temped with the full speaker upgrade 😂 |

The BavSound is a great upgrade over HK, but if I had the option of B&W, I obviously would have done that (of course it was unavailable when I got my LCI). And if the bass wasn't enough, I'd go from there.

Race ipp - suh (like "sun" but without the "n") LOCK - wit - Uhr (like "urn" but without the "n") A Latin phrase literally meaning "the thing speaks for itself." It's a legal doctrine that says where an accident occurred, it's likely that someone, somewhere in the process, was negligent, even if there isn't direct evidence to suggest what the negligent act exactly was, or who committed the negligent act(s). Said another way, the occurrence of an accident implies negligence. Proving negligence ordinarily requires proving the existence of (1) a duty owed to plaintiff by defendant; (2) a breach of that duty by defendant; (3) causation (between defendant's act and the result); and, (4) damages suffered by the plaintiff. The RIL doctrine allows the court to infer the first three elements (thus precluding the plaintiff from having to prove them), even without direct evidence as to such.

That's a tough call. If the B&W was available at the time I got my second M5, I undoubtedly would have gone with that, and considered upgrades from there if need be. With that being said, the bang for your buck with BavSound system is fantastic, but I'd only go that route if I was forced into HK. In your case, I believe you have the HK since you're in a CS. I would personally recommend going with the Ghost under seat kit first. See if that gives you the improvements that you're looking for. If not, go to the stage one kit. This would be way more efficient that attempting to retrofit BW, which some members here have mentioned and talked about, but we have not seen anyone execute it yet. You may get slightly better bass response from the BavSound kit as compared to the BW, but that really depends on what kind of music you listen to. If you're on the fence about BavSound, try the Ghost kit and know that you can return it with 100 days, even if installed, with no questions asked.

If you're satisfied with Ghost kit, you can see how it meshes with the whole system. It sounds good now, but you'll get a better idea of how your system now works as a whole in about 20 hours, even though the insert calls for less. The stage one kit does to the remaining speakers what the Ghost kit does to the subs! I think it would get you much closer to BW level.

The BavSound speakers are higher quality than the B&W speakers. They are designed by Audiotec Fischer in Germany, a high end car audio company that makes Brax, Helix and Match brands.
The B&W amplifier is far better than the HK amplifier, however. The biggest problem with both the HK and B&W systems is the lack of processing. If there were basic DSP functions like time alignment and individual speaker EQ, then we could do a lot to improve the sound. If the BavSound amp upgrade were compatible it would have the DSP features we need to make the system sound a lot better. Unfortunately, it's not compatible.

Ordered the subs today. Will install myself when they arrive. May replace the rest if I'm happy with the subs.
